00:00Looking back on Liverpool, do you feel an opportunity missed there still in reflection?
00:06Yeah, for sure it was a big opportunity and I think it's very important that we know what's
00:15about and football in the end it's about result and you don't get any points for good performances.
00:21So of course, I'm sure long term when you focus on the process, when you play good you
00:27get the results you deserve because I always think when you play with courage, when you
00:33defend good long term, you will get paid for that and the second thing and that's finding
00:39the balance in the end, football is a game of results so you need results and I think
00:46it's important that we also understand it's not only about playing good football and having
00:51good performances, it's about winning games and we have ambitions and our club has ambitions
00:57and we should be very disappointed if we also travel to Liverpool and don't manage
01:02to win the game after this performance so it should be also an overthinking or a change
01:08of our mindset in cases of what we want to achieve and how we feedback the players after
01:16games like this.
01:17Is that something you're looking to improve then going forward, closing out those closed
01:22games?
01:23Yeah, for sure.
01:24I think it has something to do with game management, it has something to do with being ruthless.
01:31I think when you don't make the second goal or the third goal then you have to be more
01:36ruthless in defending your own box when you don't kill an opponent's box so there are
01:43always options to win this game.
01:45It's also very important in an atmosphere, in a wild environment to stay calm, to still
01:51continue playing your style of play and don't change your style of play only because the
01:58crowd is there or the intensity from the opponent is higher.
02:02It's still about finding solutions, it's still about continue playing your style of play
02:06and I think there we can improve.
